An early symptom of an ingrown toenail is tender, red skin. However, you will see a marked increase in redness around the area if the toenail progresses to an infection. You may feel a warm to hot feeling around your toenail if it becomes infected. A throbbing pain may accompany the increase in temperature around your toenail as well. If the infection worsens or is left untreated, you may develop a fever. Look for pus under the skin near your nail. Pus is a sure sign of an infection. A bad odor may accompany an infected toenail that is secreting pus as well. An infected ingrown toenail may look as if red skin is surrounding a light colored area of skin (whitish in color). If you have an infection, then you will need to contact your doctor. Your doctor will be able to diagnose and treat the infection. Treatment depends on severity and can consist of soaking the feet in warm water, antibiotics, or removal of the ingrown toenail if the infection is severe.  Contact your doctor or podiatrist immediately if you have diabetes or AIDS, suffer from poor blood circulation, are on chemotherapy, or have a weakened immune system. Other reasons to see your doctor include persistent or chronic problems with ingrown toenails, if you have diabetes, a compromised immune system, or a condition affecting the nerves or the sensation in your feet, or if you have signs of infection, such as pus, redness, pain, or swelling.

TL;DR in English: Look for an increased redness around your toenail. Notice if your skin feels hot. Watch out for green or yellow pus. Contact your doctor.

At the top of the letter, you need to provide your contact information. There are a number of approaches to providing your contact information. Ultimately, though, the contact information is extremely important as it will allow the person making the hiring decision to know who you are and to contact you. Consider:  Include your full name and address. Position the contact information on the left hand side Reserve phone number and email for a header, footer, or for the last paragraph of the application letter. At the top of the letter, you need to provide a date. The date should be the date you are writing and/or sending the letter. The date lets the reader know when you wrote the letter and if it is timely for the reason you wrote the letter. The location of the date may vary:  On the right hand side at the top of the letter. On the left hand side under your contact information. The date should never be centered. Although there are different styles, and you can use the paragraph-indented approach, it is recommended that you use a block or semi-block style. This comes across as more professional and is easier to read.  Do not indent your paragraphs Make sure each text block is clear, concise, and focused. Block paragraphs should be single spaced and separated by one line. You should start your letter off with a salutation. The salutation is intended to introduce you to the reader and to address the reader directly. It is also intended to establish a cordial and professional relationship between the potential employer and the applicant for promotion, if a relationship does not already exist.  Address the reader in the most specific way possible, such “Dear Mr. Walters.” Avoid phrases like “To Whom It May Concern” unless you have no other information. Salutations can vary, depending on the purpose of the letter of application and the audience. They might include, “Dear,” “To whom it may concern,” or “To the committee.” Avoid being too informal. Don’t use informal salutations like “Hi,” “Hey,” or even “My Friend.”...

Second-degree burns are more severe than first-degree burns because they extend past the epidermis and into the lower layer of skin (the dermis). This doesn't necessarily mean they need medical care. The burns will be a dark red and will produce blisters on the skin. They are more swollen and splotchy than first-degree, with more reddened skin, which may look wet or shiny. The burned area itself may look white or discolored.  If the burn is larger than 3 inches, treat as third-degree and seek medical attention immediately.  Common causes of second-degree burns including scalding, flame, contact with a very hot object, bad sunburn, chemical burns, and electrical burns. Burns can cause swelling, which could cause jewelry on the burned hand to become uncomfortably tight, cut off proper circulation, or dig into the skin. Remove any jewelry on the burned hand, such as rings or bracelets. Treatment for second-degree burns is almost the same as first degree burns. When the burn occurs, quickly but calmly get to a sink and put your hand or arm under the cold water for 15-20 minutes. This will help pull heat away from the skin and reduce inflammation. If blisters are present, do not pop them. They help the skin heal. Popping them can introduce infection and delay healing time. Don't apply butter or ice to the burn. Also, do not blow on the burn because it can increase your likelihood of infection. Because second-degree burns extend further into the skin, the potential for infection is greater. Apply an antibiotic cream to the burned area before bandaging it. Silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene) is a popular antibiotic ointment for burns. It is often available over-the-counter without a prescription. Use a lot of the cream so that it will soak into the skin for a long time. If a blister does pop on its own or by accident, do not panic. Clean it with a mild soap and clean water. Apply an antibiotic ointment and cover the burn with a new bandage. Burn dressings should be changed daily to help prevent infection. Remove the old...

Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet plays a huge role in the health of your hair, so making sure your body is getting all the hair-friendly vitamins and nutrients it needs can help to prevent white hairs.  Make sure you are eating plenty of lean protein (hair is made from protein), fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Drink plenty of water for hydration. More specifically, make sure you are getting enough of the vitamin B12 and the mineral zinc. If you don't feel you are getting enough in your diet naturally. Also make sure you are getting adequate amounts of vitamins A, C and E and of minerals like copper, iron and folic acid. Biotin (sometimes called vitamin H) is another important vitamin for healthy, naturally-colored hair. It is found in foods like cucumbers, oats and almonds. Poor quality hair products are full of chemicals such as sulfates, phosphates, chlorine and ammonia which dry out the hair and weaken the roots, making you more prone to white hairs. Therefore, you should stick to hair products with as many natural ingredients as possible. Head massages help to stimulate blood flow to the scalp, which keeps hair growing healthily. If possible, massage a natural oil like almond or coconut oil into the scalp, as this helps to deeply moisturize the hair roots. . According to one study, smokers are four times as likely to have white or grey hairs as their non-smoking counterparts. Smoking also causes hair to look dull and brittle and make it more prone to falling out. Melancor is a tablet-based product which rejuvenates natural hair color by stimulating the production of melanin in the hair follicles. It can help restore color to grey hair, and also prevent new grey hairs from forming. It needs to be taken once a day and has no common side effects. It can be purchased online. Note that there is no scientific evidence that Melancor works. You can try this supplement, but be aware of any side effects you may experience and understand that you may not get the results you hope for.

TL;DR in English: Eat a hair-healthy diet. Avoid poor quality hair products. Give yourself regular head massages. Quit smoking Take Melancor.

You don’t want the windowsills to get wet with the cleaning solution, especially if they are made of wood. Protect the windowsills by laying towels down over them. Make sure none of the windowsill is left exposed. Use four parts water and one-part white vinegar. Pour the water and vinegar in a bowl. You can pour the solution in a spray bottle if you wish to spray it onto the glass surface. You can use a cotton cloth, microfiber towel, or even a newspaper to wipe down the glass. Dip the cloth into the mixture. Or, you can spray the cleaning solution onto the cloth. Wring out the excess fluid. Spray the cleaning solution directly onto the glass if you are cleaning a large area. Begin by wiping the glass in circular motions. Then, wipe the glass with vertical strokes. After that, use horizontal strokes to clean the glass. You can use a cotton swab, or an old, soft toothbrush to clean the corners of the glass window. Dip the cotton swab or toothbrush into the cleaning solution. Scrub the corners of the glass where dirt or dust may have gathered. You can use an old T-shirt, newspaper, or even cloth diapers to buff the glass. Rub the glass with your chosen object until it is dry and shiny.

The interest rate is the single most important detail when negotiating a loan. With good credit, banks will more openly compete for a loan. With bad credit, you need to take initiative and negotiate the terms of the agreement by yourself.  Explain any medical bill debt. Many times, lenders are more willing to work with you if your credit score is negatively affected by medical bills. Some lenders even remove medical debt from the equation when calculating your interest rate. Compare multiple quotes. Get a quote from your bank or credit union, and consider getting quotes from other banks and credit unions nearby. There are also many online services that will give you quotes for a home equity loan or line of credit.  Don’t be afraid to turn a lender down. If you don’t like your offer, or you think you can do better, don’t accept it. Patience will help you get a better offer. Make banks compete against each other. Tell your potential lenders that you are shopping around for better rates, as this will provide with some leverage in your negotiation.

When you are working at the computer, rest your eyes for at least 20 seconds by looking at something 20 feet (6 m) away after using the computer for 20 minutes.  If you have a window nearby, looking at something outdoors is a great option.  Alternatively, you can move your eyes from something close to something far away, switching between the two every 10 seconds at least ten times for a little eye “workout.” Some eye strain occurs because you tend to blink less when focusing on something, like your computer screen. Try to be conscious of your blinking while you work, and do it more often. Closing and then rolling your eyes can help lubricate them. It also helps to relax straining muscles. Close your eyes and roll them around in a circular motion. Roll them clockwise, then counter-clockwise. This not only helps relax your eyes but also feels good. After a long period focusing on the screen, take a break to look around the room slowly, keeping your eyes constantly in motion and looking at things that are varying distances from you. Close your eyes and glance up as far as you can without discomfort. Hold your eyes still for a moment, then look down, eyes still closed.  Repeat a few times and then rest your eyes for a moment. Next, keeping your eyes closed like before, look to the right and the left. Repeat. The eye muscle is like a spring that should not be over-extended for long periods of time. Otherwise, it's ability to recoil can weaken. To prevent this, there are several things you can do to relax your eyes. Palming involves resting and warming your eyes using friction heat. Here's how it's done:  Rub your palms together to create some heat. Close your eyes. Put one palm gently over each eye and rest them like this for a few minutes. Re-warm your palms as necessary. Don't push into or jab your eyes too hard, so you don't damage them.

When you play a scale on an English concertina, you’ll have to alternate between your left and right hands to play the notes. Look for a treble concertina to have a similar note range as a violin. Most concertinas have 48 keys, but some models will have 56 keys with extra notes at the top of the scale. An English concertina makes the same note when you open and close the bellows, but an Anglo will make different sounds. Anglo concertinas also separate the low notes on the left side and the high notes on the right, making it easier to find the notes. Anglo concertinas come in 20-key, 30-key, and 40-key variations. A 20-key concertina limits the notes you can play, but it may be a good start if you’re a beginner. Duet concertinas come in many varieties with a different number of keys and layouts. The main draw for a duet concertina is being able to play melodies with 1 hand and an accompaniment on the other with ease, similar to an Anglo concertina. Some duet concertinas have up to 80 keys, giving them nearly the full range of a piano.

TL;DR in English: Get an English concertina to play the original instrument. Use an Anglo concertina to have an easier time playing. Try a duet concertina if you’re an advanced player.

Before you jump straight into distressing, run a sanding block or sheet of high-grit sandpaper over the entire piece. A thorough sanding will open up the pores in the wood and help the paint hold better. This translates to a longer-lasting finish that, ironically, will have no problem standing the test of time.  Sand with a gentle circular motion, starting in a central spot and gradually working your way outward. Fold the sandpaper over squared edges and slide the entire sheet back and forth using smooth strokes. A shade like white, eggshell or opal will work best. Don’t get too heavy-handed with the first coat—you just need to get the paint onto the piece, not achieve total coverage.  Work the base coat into corners, grooves and other hard-to-reach areas using the tip of your brush. Lighter colors will be more visible under additional coats of paint, enhancing the effect. Leave the painted piece in a cool, dry place as it dries. This will usually take 8-10 hours, but you might want to wait up to 24 hours to ensure that the paint has had ample time to set. Once it has fully cured, you can move onto the next phase of the project.  Avoid handling the painted wood while it dries. If you’d rather show off the natural wood grain than a separate layer of paint, feel free to skip straight to the distressing phase. Choose a bolder color for the topcoat that will stand in contrast to the lighter base coat underneath. This time, paint the entire piece. Use multiple coats to reach the desired depth and smoothness.  Change up the direction of your strokes to work the paint into tiny crevices and other textured areas. To underscore the vintage aesthetic, go with a topcoat in a faded-looking pastel shade, such as brick red, powder yellow or robin’s egg blue. Wet a rag or soft kitchen scrubber and wring out the excess water. Use the rag or scrubber to smudge the paint while it’s still slightly sticky to the touch. Doing so will expose the lighter paint underneath, which creates the illusion that the piece has been repainted...

TL;DR in English: Sand the wooden surface lightly. Paint the piece in a light color. Allow the base coat to dry completely. Brush on a second coat of paint. Wipe the paint with a damp cloth.

Ask the audience’s position on a particular topic to get a sense of where your audience is coming from. This helps the audience get invested in the information you’re sharing and makes it relevant for them.  For a speech about how to winterize your car, you could ask the audience something like, “How many of you have ever felt your car slipping on an icy street? Or who here has had their car stall on the side of the road during freezing temperatures?” By asking the audience a question about your topic, you engage them almost instantly. The audience members will hear the question and begin to ponder their own answers, thereby becoming involved in the topic of your speech. If you are giving a speech about holiday traditions, you could ask, “What was your favorite holiday tradition growing up?” Lead your audience through a very brief visualization exercise to inspire their imagination as it pertains to your topic. They may not remember your words as much as the images that were evoked in their minds during this part of the speech. For example, if you’re giving a speech about booking a dream vacation, you might start with: “Imagine you are on a tropical beach. Feel the sand under your feet and the sun beating down on your shoulders. You can hear the ocean waves and wind swishing through the palm trees.” When people listen to a speech, they often are looking for answers to questions that they have. Giving your audience the opportunity to ask questions up front can help shape your speech and make sure you’re addressing their specific concerns. If you’re giving a speech about teaching online classes versus in-person classes, you might ask, “What’s your biggest concern about teaching an online class?” Call on a few people to hear their concerns. Chances are, you’ll be addressing their concerns in your speech already. Start off your speech by asking your audience to share something with their neighbor. This breaks the ice, making a more friendly and communal learning environment. You might say to the audience, “Turn...

Practice good personal hygiene Dress conservatively. Select classic silhouettes, colors, and fabrics. Apply natural makeup Keep your hair neat. Choose simple accessories.

When choosing broths, go with the low-fat variety. If you are making a creamy soup and the recipe calls for heavy cream, use a lower-fat substitute, such as 2% milk. You could also try a non-dairy milk if you are vegan or lactose-intolerant. Need a thick soup? Switch out the sour cream for some pureed, mild-tasting white beans. This would also give you an extra dose of fiber, protein, and other nutrients. Cutting fats and calories are not the only ways to make soup healthier. Another common culprit in soup is the excess sodium, and you can make your soup healthier by using low-sodium broths and less salt. This does not mean that your soup has to be flavorless. Try adding some fresh or dried herbs, such as: cilantro/coriander, ginger, garlic, or pepper.  Spices not only add flavor, but they also contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, both of which are beneficial to your health.  Other ways to add a salty flavor is to use lemon juice, lime juice, or rice vinegar.  Switch out seasoned salt (ie: garlic salt) for herb-only seasoning, such as: garlic powder or onion salt. Vegetables are a great way of introducing antioxidants, fiber, minerals, and vitamins to your diet. Beans can add fiber and protein while making your soup thicker. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables. If you are using canned vegetables, however, make sure that they are low in sodium. Meat is a great way of adding protein to your meal, but it can also add unhealthy fats. Whenever you can, try to use lean meats, such as chicken and turkey, in your soups. If you can't replace the meat you are using, go for a lean or reduced fat option, such as:  Extra-lean or lean ground beef Ground chicken breast or turkey breast Turkey bacon or Canadian bacon If your soup recipe calls for pasta, noodles, or rice, try using whole wheat pasta, whole wheat noodles, or brown rice instead. If you don't like brown rice, you could also try wild rice or pearl barley. Whole grains are full of beneficial fibers, vitamins, and nutrients. There is...

Your dance solo should be geared towards your audience. For example, if you're auditioning for a highly technical dance company, the goal of your dance solo may be to present your advanced technical ability. On the other hand, a dance solo for a community event may be geared solely towards entertaining others. The music and movement needs to reflect the aim of your solo.  For example, if you choreograph a fun and easy solo, it might not be the best choice to perform for an audition that requires displaying your technical ability. If you choreograph and highly technical and difficult solo, it might not be appreciated as much by an audience that is just looking to be entertained and doesn’t have knowledge about the technicalities of dance. For example, choose a ballet, jazz, modern, or tap routine. Some choreographic pieces are intended to dazzle through high-energy movements. Others dancers are meant to move others through awe-inspiring gracefulness. With the goal of your solo in mind, consider the type of dance and movement that would be  beftyou’re your dance ability and audience.  If you’ve never had ballet training, but want a slower, awe-inspiring routine, you may want to try modern or contemporary dance. If you want a fun, high-energy solo, go for tap, jazz, or hip hop. When auditioning for a traditional ballet company, select classical music or a piece that you would commonly dance to in your ballet classes. If you will perform the dance solo at a social or community event, choose music that will appeal to audience members. Try to pick a song that you would enjoy listening and dancing to. Some contemporary dances are performed to recitation of words, or in the case of a step dance, you would create your own music through clapping and stomping. Choreographing and then practicing a dance solo will take time and effort. Set aside an amount of time to work on your routine. You can practice for an hour five days or just a few days a week. Begin working on your routine early enough so that you will feel...

TL;DR in English: Adjust the solo to your intended audience. Choose your form of dance. Select appropriate music. Plan practice time. Designate a place to practice.

If you’re not sure about the conditions in your garden, spend a sunny day watching the way the shadows fall throughout the day, then pick the sunniest spot for your dill.  Dill is self-sowing, which means it produces seeds which will grow new plants, so choose a spot where you’ll want to grow dill for the next several years. If you don’t have a spot that gets 6-8 hours of sun each day, plant it in the sunniest spot you have available. Dill can tolerate some shade but it won’t be as bushy. Dill grows best in well-drained soil, and adding compost to your garden can help prevent standing water. If your soil isn’t the best quality, though, don’t worry; dill prefers somewhat poor, sandy conditions. You can make your own compost from the food scraps your family uses, or you can purchase compost from a co-op or garden shop.

TL;DR in English: Choose a location that gets 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Add aged compost to the garden before you plant your dill.

If your closet is big enough, then it's likely that you've stored things other than clothes in it, such as big boxes filled with mementos, old photo albums, and CDs you haven't seen for ten years. To finish organizing your closet, you should go through these old boxes to see what you should keep and what you should toss. Here's how to do it:  Get rid of any papers or items you've kept for over a year that have no sentimental value. Consolidate the boxes to save closet space. If your closet is already cramped, consider putting some of the items in a different place, such as putting your old high school yearbooks on the bottom of your bookshelf. If you've been using cardboard boxes, trade them up for plastic bins. They will last longer and will be more visually appealing. Label the boxes or bins so you know what's in them next time you move or organize your things again. Take the time to go through any additional items in your closet to make sure that you still need them and that the closet is really the best place for them. Here are some examples:  If you find any towels, sheets, or blankets, put them in your linen closet. If you've had an old lawn chair or another piece of furniture you don't really need hanging out back there, it's time to throw it out. If you've had to pick up an item and spend at least fifteen seconds trying to figure out what the heck it is or why you would need it, it's time to throw it out. Make sure that all of the other items you find belong in the closet and not another part of your home. For example, if you find a box of light bulbs, a box of comic books, or a box of chocolate, ask yourself if those items wouldn't be more logically organized elsewhere. Turn your creativity loose and think of ways to add pleasure to the routine of getting dressed and looking through your closet every day. If you spend more time making your closet look nice, then you will be less likely to let it get messy in the future.  Paint your closet a soft pretty color. Add mirrors for sparkle. Hang jewelry and...

Before a lab begins, your teacher will discuss all of the necessary safety precautions for that specific experiment. They will have also detailed all safety procedures at the beginning of the year.  If you are unsure of the correct way to handle something, always ask the teacher so you do everything safely. At all times, follow any safety guidelines posted in the lab. Eating or drinking in the lab or during an experiment can be extremely hazardous and lead to injury. If you have a hazardous chemical on your hands and then you touch your food with those hands, you could ingest that chemical. The same goes for drinking beverages.  If you need to eat or drink anything, remove your gloves and lab coat, wash your hands, leave the laboratory and then consume the food or drink. Chewing gum is also not allowed in the lab. Hair and dangling jewelry can present a hazard if they catch on anything. You can also accidentally catch your hair on fire if it falls into a flame without you realizing it. Chemicals that are corrosive or irritating can get underneath a ring or a bracelet and cause irritation. Try to come to class without any jewelry so you don’t have to store it and potentially lose it. When you first get to the lab, put all of your things in a place where they will be out of the way and not create a trip hazard. Under the lab bench or in cubby holes at the front of the class are the two best places to store them. When leaving class, remember to grab all of your things from under the bench or wherever they were left. No matter how trivial it may seem, everything must be reported to the teacher. They will know how to handle everything safely and make sure no one gets hurt. If glass breaks or something spills, do not try to clean it up until you have told your teacher about it. There might be a special way the clean-up needs to be handled.

As soon as you get stung, get the stinger out of your skin. This is the most important thing you can do! Some people suggest that scraping the stinger out with a credit card is better than pinching it out, but this is more likely to slow down the removal. Some scientists don’t think this is even true, and that removing the stinger as quickly as possible is the best thing you can do.  You should be able to see the stinger where you’ve been stung. It will be about the size of the tip of a pen and consists of the stinger itself with some torn flesh from the bee. Sometimes, the bee will remain connected to the stinger by a string of flesh. Get it out with your fingernails, if possible. Otherwise grab a credit card to sweep it out don't pinch it or it will release more venom into the body. The cold water will be soothing and the soap can help wash away any residual dirt or venom. Lather up well and rinse the area thoroughly. Even if you’ve been stung by a bee before without any problem, be on the alert for signs that you’re having an allergic reaction. Allergies can develop or worsen over time. Severe reactions (anaphylaxis) can by life-threatening. Watch out for any of the following signs of anaphylaxis:  Difficulty breathing or wheezing Swelling of the lips, tongue, face, or throat  Dizziness, fainting, or a drop in blood pressure Skin reaction like hives, flushing, itching, or paleness A fast, weak pulse Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea Restlessness and anxiety Take an antihistamine like Benadryl immediately after the bee sting. This is a preventative measure, even if you don’t end up having an allergic reaction. if you’re having an allergic reaction. If any of the above symptoms are present, call for emergency help right away. While you’re waiting for help to arrive (or on your way to the hospital), take Benadryl or another antihistamine before a reaction sets in. If you have an EpiPen, use it.  If you’re waiting and start to have a serious reaction, you can take a double dose of antihistamine. Just be sure to...

Do this by switching your amp to standby mode without any input for at least two minutes before hooking up your guitar. Once the amp is warmed up and ready to rock, you can plug in your guitar and switch your amp to its active mode. Changing the volume on your amp can also change the tone of the sound it produces. Set your amp to its optimal volume, and if loudness is an issue, make sure you have the proper sound dampening measures in place.  If you have decided on using a power soak, tie this into your sound line as instructed in its accompanying directions. If you plan on making use of a sound closet or chamber, make sure your amp is in its proper position. Wear and tear might require you to finesse some of your cables or connectors into the right inputs or outputs. In particular, be sure that your guitar, amp, microphone, and DAW/audio interface are properly linked. Audio equipment can draw a considerable amount of current. In some cases, when too much current is drawn on an electrical circuit, a circuit breaker will be tripped and the power supply cut off. To prevent this from happening mid-recording: Test your electrical supply by taking some time to warm up. Be sure that all the equipment you plan on using is switched on, warmed up, and set the volume at which you will record. Double check your tuning. If you notice that your guitar sounds too "honky," meaning that it has a kind of country twang to its tone, you can change this by reducing the Mid knob.  If it sounds too thick, or isn't very clear, increase the Mid knob. With everything in place and properly adjusted, all you need to do now is set your DAW/audio interface to record and begin playing. Once you have finished playing, stop the recording and check your handiwork. At this point, you can polish your recording through your DAW/audio interface. In many cases, this will be your computer. Once your recording is complete, you can apply filters to it to highlight certain aspects, like:  Clarity and focus. A high pass filter at 100, 150, or 200Hz...

TL;DR in English: Warm up your amp. Adjust your amp settings and dampening measures, if necessary. Check all connections and cords. Stress test your electrical supply. Verify the sound of your electric guitar with headphones. Record yourself playing your electric guitar. Use filters to improve the quality of your sound.

A decongestant should be taken if you have nasal or sinus congestion. It helps you clear a stuffy nose. They help loosen congestion so you can expel it. Decongestants may disrupt your sleep.  Certain blood pressure medications may react negatively to decongestants. Talk to your doctor about if decongestants are right for you. Nasal sprays can provide temporary relief for sinus congestion, but long term use may make the congestion worse. Saline nose sprays may provide better relief than a medicated one. Antihistamines are good for allergy-type symptoms. They dry up secretions. This includes runny noses, postnasal drip, and itchy eyes. Products containing this might thicken mucus. Antihistamines can make you sleepy. Expectorants help with wet coughs that contain phlegm. Expectorants help loosen and expel phlegm in your chest so you can cough it up. Expectorant can also thin mucus, helping with coughing or drainage into the throat. Drowsiness may be a side effect of this drug. There are different types of pain relievers in cold medicine. You can also get pain relievers separate from your cold medicine. Decide which is best for your symptoms.  NSAIDS help if you have a sore throat, headache, body aches, or a fever. Examples of NSAIDS include ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen. Don’t take NSAIDs if you are already taking a NSAID for an existing condition.  Acetaminophen is most commonly found in Tylenol. It helps with fevers and aches. Acetaminophen can be a better option if you have a sensitive stomach or acid reflux. You shouldn’t take it if you have liver problems or drink a lot of alcohol.  You shouldn’t take an extra pain reliever if your cold medicine already has it in it. Make sure you read the ingredients or ask the pharmacist if you're unsure. If you have kidney disease or impaired kidney function, NSAIDs can cause further damage to your organs. Speak with your doctor before taking NSAIDs if you have any kidney problems. Cough suppressants are also known as antitussives. They help suppress your cough....

Prepare your deck or porch for building. Buy your materials. Install the newel posts. Install the balusters at the appropriate point on each stair. Attach the handrail to the newel posts and balusters. Apply an exterior primer to your finished handrail.

Peak flow meters only work properly if air is able to freely pass through them. Blowing into a meter that is obstructed by a foreign object will not provide an accurate reading and could cause unnecessary strain on your lungs.  Peak flow meters usually have an open orifice in the mouthpiece of the device; this is the area most likely to become obstructed, so check here first before use. When grasping the meter in your hand, make sure your fingers do not obstruct the sliding scale on top of the device. It is important to maintain good posture while using your peak flow meter because this will allow you to maximize your pre-test inhalation as well as your exhalation (which is measured by the device). Slouching or lying down while using the meter will not allow you to get a good reading. The sliding cursor on the back of the peak flow meter is what measures the force of your exhalation. If you do not zero the cursor before you use the meter, your reading will not be accurate. You can adjust the cursor by simply placing your finger on it and manually sliding it to the "zero" end of the scale, which is toward the mouthpiece of the meter. In order to register the most powerful exhalation you are capable of, you must first fill your lungs with air. Do this before inserting the peak flow meter into your mouth in order to ensure the fullest inward breath possible. Be sure to remove gum or anything else from your mouth before inhaling. Not only do you want to prevent blowing a foreign object into your peak flow meter, but you also don't want to accidentally inhale anything when you take your deep breath in. In order to get the best reading possible on the meter, you should place the mouthpiece between your front teeth and seal your lips around the opening. This will stabilize the meter and ensure that no air escapes from the sides of your mouth when you exhale. Pull your tongue backward, away from the mouthpiece, so you do not accidentally block the opening of the meter. The idea here is to get a hard, fast burst of...

TL;DR in English: Check the meter for obstructions. Stand or sit up straight. Set the cursor to zero. Inhale deeply. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth. Blow forcefully into the meter. Repeat the test twice more.

Next swing your upper body through so that the silks make a V down your torso. It's easier to do this move from a climb instead of from on the ground. This is a very relaxing move. Flipping upside down makes the Half-Buddha more dangerous than the others, so make sure you're ready and be careful.

Inspect the condition of your foundation. If repairs need to be made to floorboards, do so now. The less work done after the rail installation, the better in order to make sure the handrail stays intact for as long as possible. To install a handrail using balusters, rather than installing one on a wall, you'll need quite a few materials in addition to the handrail you have chosen. If you're installing double handrails, one on either side of your set of stairs, double the quantity of supplies you purchase.  Your handrail should be a 2x4 piece of wood that is no longer than 8 feet long, according to most building codes. Purchase two newel posts, the supporting posts that hold up the rail; you'll need one for the top of the stairs and one for the base. The standard size of a post is 4x4 inches and 5 feet long. Purchase one baluster per stair step. Balusters are the spindles that connect the rail to each step. The height of the balusters should be between 30 and 36 inches, depending on how high you want the railing to be. If there are already posts and/or balusters in place, count the total numbers of pieces you will need to replace, if any. For secure installation of newel posts, you'll need a post-hole digger and concrete mix to pour into the holes.  Purchase sure-tite fasteners for secure installation of balusters in the steps. You'll need wood glue or epoxy glue to fasten the handrail to the posts. Depending on the style of railing you install, you may need additional reinforcement supplies, such as a finish nail gun and a screwdigger. If you're replacing an old handrail, your set of stairs may already have newel posts at the top and bottom that you can use to support your new handrail. If not, you'll need to install posts before you can install your rail.  To install a post in the ground, use a post-hole digger to dig a hole least 18 inches in depth in front of the bottom step. Fill the hole halfway to the top with mixed, wet concrete. Stand a newel post in the hole. If you're installing two posts, use a...

Your local pet store will carry many different formula options, such as Kitten Milk Replacer or Esbilac, that can be used to feed baby mice. Human formulas Enfamil (the kind without iron) and Soyalac can also be used. Whole, raw goats milk will nourish the babies as well.  Slightly warm the formula or milk before feeding; do not use hot or cold formula. Powdered formulas will need to be mixed with water per the directions on the container. The babies must be warm before feeding, or they won’t be able to digest the formula properly. If this happens, the formula will ferment in their bellies, causing diarrhea. You can keep the babies warm by placing a heating pad on a low setting underneath their enclosure. You can also use an eyedropper. If you are using a syringe or bottle, suck liquid up into the container to prepare for feeding. If you are using string, simply dip it into the formula until it is dripping. Take care to not squeeze the syringe or bottle with much force. If you see liquid bubbling from their noses, stop feeding immediately. When the mice have round, full tummies, they do not need any more food. Mice ages 0-1 week need feedings 6-8 times a day; mice 1-2 weeks need feedings 5-6 times a day; mice 2-3 weeks need feedings 4 times a day; and mice 4 weeks old only need feedings 3 times a day. Space each feeding a couple of hours apart. You will also have to feed the mice during the night. Use a cotton ball or your finger, and gently brush over their private areas. A small amount of liquid will come out, but if the baby is dehydrated, nothing may come out. Rub until there is no more liquid. For the first several days of weaning, provide a small amount of moistened rodent pellets for the weaning mice; drizzle water over the pellets to prepare them, then place them in an easily accessible area.  Soon, the mice will be nibbling at the soaked crumbles. When the mice appear to be getting stronger, try feeding them regular rodent pellets. Pet supply stores have rodent chow available, whether it comes in...

TL;DR in English: Prepare formula to feed the mice. Use a small syringe, small nursing bottle, or absorbent string for feeding. Place small drops of food into the mouth. Feed the mice frequently. Stimulate the babies after feeding so they use the bathroom. Wean the babies after 3 to 4 weeks. Provide healthy pellets and water once the babies are weaned.

Take 2 pieces of PVC piping—one 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) in diameter and the other 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm).  Use a saw to cut the PVC pipes to the desired length. Keep in mind that the combined length of the 2 PVC pipes will be the approximate length of your finished fishing rod. For example, for a small child-size fishing rod you could cut each pipe to a length of 10 inches (25.4 cm). Use some sandpaper to smooth the sawed edges and remove any markings from the body of the pipes. You will need two slip caps: one  1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) and one 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm)  fitting.  You will also need a 1⁄2–3⁄4 inch (1.3–1.9 cm) threaded connector (female/male) and a 1⁄2–3⁄4 inch (1.3–1.9 cm) threaded connector (female/female). These fittings are available very cheaply from the hardware store. Slip each fitting onto the corresponding piece of pipe, but do not glue in place. Take a power drill with a 3⁄32 inch (0.2 cm) drill bit and drill 3 to 5 holes all the way through the 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) PVC pipe. The number of holes will depend on the length of the pipe you are using. No matter how many holes you make, ensure that they evenly spaced. Take a number of medium sized binder clips (to match the number of holes you drilled) and remove the silver wire from the clip.  Use a pliers to bend one leg of the silver wire across the other. When you’re done, there should be a closed loop on one end of the wire and on the other end the legs should point inwards towards each other. Repeat with the other wires. Take a wire and clip the legs into the holes on either side of the 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) pipe. The loop at the end of the wire forms an eyelet for the fishing line. Repeat with the other wires. Buy a premade fishing reel and attach it to the side of the larger 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) PVC pipe. You can do this by using the same drill bit as before to make 2 holes in the side of the pipe, then screw the fishing reel into place The last step is to screw the 2 pieces of PVC pipe together to form your fishing rod and run the fishing line through the eyelets....

TL;DR in English: Cut 2 PVC pipes. Attach the slip caps and threaded connectors. Drill holes into the smaller PVC pipe. Attach the eyelets. Attach a premade fishing reel to the larger pipe. Screw the PVC pipes together.

This is a version of you, since you don't want to pretend to be someone else, but a more idealized version of you. It's the person who you'll be publicly and which you'll capitalize on when you're marketing yourself.  Basically, there are two different people in this equation. There's the real you, which is fallible, imperfect and then there's the idealized you (which is the one that you're going to be selling). The idealized you is perfect, amazing and awesome. The times when you need to use this image are when you're selling yourself and your product (book, singing, cooking, etc.) to others, whether it's the general public or a publisher or music producers. Just remember, the idealized you only needs to be on for a short period of time, and then you can go back to being your usual self. . This is the big one, because if you can't market yourself you're not going to be a celebrity. People who make celebrity status are the ones who create an image and then know how to effectively sell that image to whatever industry they want to be part of, as well as to the general public.  Explain why you're unique. Part of marketing yourself is to show why people should be interested in you. What is it about your work and your presence that people should like. Be persistent. Marketing yourself means being visible and being visible means you have to keep marketing yourself. For example: if your book keep getting rejected from publishers, submit things (like short stories) to literary magazines to get writing credits that will help your writer's image. Before you can go on big media circuits to the Daily Show or Ellen, you'll need to set yourself up on local t.v. and radio, so that people will be able to see that you're a good person to interview and that you are providing interesting and unique product. When you've gotten yourself set up in whatever it is you want to become a celebrity in, contact your local news outlets and let them know what you're doing. Again, be persistent. If they aren't immediately interested, keep...

Determine what your strings are made of. Spread some lubricant onto a rag. Run the rag across the strings.

With rejection sensitivity, you can easily get caught up dwelling on people who reject you and forget about those who embrace you. Make a point to spend time with people who value who you are as a person.  Whether it’s friends, coworkers, peers at school, or family members, make an effort to connect with people who love and care for you. They can help balance the scales against any rejection you feel from others. If you don't have strong relationships, meet some new people. Volunteer and help out in your local community. Join an organization or club. Strike up a conversation with the wallflower at a party. Become an advocate for those who are being bullied. People with rejection sensitivity often go into social situations expecting to get the cold shoulder. In many ways, this can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you enter a situation in bad faith and with a negative attitude, you are more likely to get the same in return. However, you may start getting a more positive outcome by expecting to be accepted. When you’re entering a new social setting, tell yourself, “They’ll like me” or “I’m going to make so many friends.” You just might be surprised at the outcome. If you tend to receive many rejections in a particular area of life, such as in your career or dating life, you may need to examine your actions to see how you can improve. Think about it: you will never catch a fish if you’re using the wrong bait. For instance, if you are applying for jobs that demand gregariousness and you’re shy, you may not impress the interviewer. Switch tactics and search for a similar job in which it doesn’t matter so much how outgoing you are. You may just get the position. If you interact with people who reject you, criticize you, or put you down on a regular basis, you should consider distancing yourself from those people. Establish healthy boundaries by letting them know that their behavior is hurtful to you. If the behavior continues, avoid contact with the person if you can.  On the other side of the coin, it is important...

You want to be able to leave your job on the best terms possible given your situation. Your future employment may depend on your ability to stay calm in the present. There may be friendships and/or professional connections between your current company's employees and potential employers. Plus, your current company may be contacted as a reference. Therefore, you must do your best to remain calm and stay professional by doing the following:  Listen to what your employer has to say. It may be tough to keep quiet but in order to understand the situation, you must listen. Do not argue. No matter the circumstances, the decision has been made by your employer. As a courtesy to you they are giving you an option to either resign or stay and wait to be fired. Arguments and pleas will not change their minds. Do not cause a scene up until you leave for good. The meeting can go very differently if you act out and the employer rescinds your option to resign. If you pose any threat or you are unprofessional, you will be asked to leave and escorted out the building by security. If this happens there will be negative implications such as bad references, bad impressions, possible ineligibility for unemployment or company benefits and possible legal issues. Most likely you already understand the circumstances surrounding your choice to resign because you have been spoken to already, have a feeling something is going on or know you have done something undesirable. However, if you do not fully understand, you must ask questions. Knowing the exact reasons for asking you to resign will help you make your decision about whether to stay or wait to be fired. For example, if you are being asked to leave because your position is being eliminated, then resigning will leave you without unemployment benefits and it may be best to wait to be fired. If you are asked to leave because you have engaged in prohibited acts defined by the company, it may be best to resign because of possible negative implications and ineligibility for...

For guitars that use nylon strings, lubricating your strings is unnecessary. Nylon strings are already corrosion resistant. If you have a guitar that has steel strings, however, you'll want to use some lubricant to keep them from getting sticky, dirty, and corroded. You can check the product packaging for the strings you have to find out what they're made of. If you do not have the product packaging anymore, a good rule of thumb to follow is to consider the kind of guitar you have and the genres it's made to play. Acoustic and flamenco guitars that focus on classical and folk music usually possess nylon strings; electric and bass guitars associated with blues, country, and rock and pop music are more likely to have steel strings. You can use the same rag that you used to clean the grime off from before by flipping it over and using the clean side. If you feel it's too dirty and the oils from your hands have sunk into the "clean" side, then you can use an entirely new rag for this portion of the cleaning process. You will want to select a lubricant that doesn't contain a petroleum base when treating your guitar; these can have penetrating properties which may cause damage to your guitar over time.  Dunlop Lemon Oil, Tone Finger-Ease String Lubricant, or GHS Fast Fret are all commercial oiling products you can buy that are made specifically for guitars. If you need something cheap and readily available, you can try olive oil, baby oil, or Vaseline.  You never want to apply the lubricant directly to the strings as there is a good chance you'll get excess grease on the fretboard which will be difficult to clean up. Position and fold the rag the same way you did when removing the grime and run the cloth or towel from the bridge and saddle area to the the nut. Apply pressure to both sides of the strings using your fingers. When done properly, the strings should end looking noticeably shinier. They should also be oily and smooth to the touch.

If you are planning a dinner party, you should consider pairing your food and wine. This means selecting certain dishes that will compliment the wine. There are several types of food that pair wonderfully with Merlot, notably beef.  Start researching food and wine pairings. Read some cooking magazines and scroll through websites that offer a variety of recipes. Search for recipes that highlight beef. You can use it as an appetizer or main dish. Cocktail meatballs would be a good choice for a starter. If you want to impress your guests, there are several flavorful beef dishes you could choose as an entree. Consider serving a grilled steak with a blue cheese butter. If you don't want to serve beef, chicken would make a lovely main dish. Try a classic roast chicken. Take into account what type of event you are planning. For example, maybe you are just inviting guests for hors d'oeuvres. If so, consider a selection of cheeses. A wine and cheese party can be a simple and elegant event.  Cheese and wine naturally complement each other. Consider offering a hard, aged Cheddar with your Merlot. You should include one soft cheese in your selection. Camembert goes nicely with Merlot.  You can add a variety of other cheeses to pair with your wine. Try a Gruyere or Pecorino Toscano. There are many benefits that come from thoughtfully pairing food and wine. If done properly, you will be able to draw out unnoticed flavors in both your dinner and your Merlot. You want to balance flavors and textures so that they complement one another.  Typically, wines pair well with foods from the same region. For example, if you are serving a French Merlot, consider cooking some French dishes. Pay attention to each of your courses, including the starter. You could begin with a traditional Caesar salad. The flavors in the dressing will complement the Merlot. Certain foods are difficult to successfully pair with wines. Avoid tomatoes, vinaigrettes, and artichokes.

TL;DR in English: Serve beef with Merlot. Choose complimentary cheeses. Plan a balanced menu.

Having a knowledge of scripture will help you understand what God intends for you, and will help guide you. Read slowly, internalize the text, and see how it relates to your daily life. Many times, you'll have to read passages much more than once for the teachings to fully sink in.  In 2 Timothy 3:16-17 it says, "In All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."  The Christian Bible is made up of The Old and New Testament. There are different translations of the Bible that exist, including the King James Bible, the Common English Bible, the English Standard Version, the Holman Christian Standard Bible, among many others.  Talk to a member of your church to see which book is preferred for your congregation. Reading scripture with others may give you different perspectives on the text and help you better understand it. The purpose of mass is to unify Christians in worshiping and praising God's grace. Usually, during mass the pastor, priest, or reverend will perform a sermon which will have stories from the Bible and occurrences from real life. Not only does attending mass make your relationship with the Lord stronger, but it also gives you the opportunity to interact with other Christians.  Most Christian churches celebrate the Eucharist which is also known as The Holy Communion or The Lord's Supper, which is a reenactment of Jesus's last meal.  Going to mass may clarify questions you have from reading scripture at home. If you have questions about scripture, mass, or your faith, a priest, pastor, or minister may be able to explain things to you. If you attend a Protestant or Baptist church, try visiting your priest after mass, or during the weekdays. Write down any questions that you have such as, questions that arise when reading scripture, questions about a sermon, or a dilemma you're facing in your life.  You can ask your priest by saying something like "Do you have some...

Notice if she starts going out without you more often. Pay attention if your wife is unreachable for long periods of time. Watch for changes in her stories or details that don’t add up. Listen carefully if she starts talking about a new friend. Pay attention to how often she works or goes on business trips. Look at how much money she spends when she is out.

After there are no funds remaining, you can close the account. You will need the approval of all the account holders to do this, so ask anyone else listed on the account to go to a branch location with you or stay nearby for approval by phone.  Use your bank’s online banking tool, or contact customer service, to check your account balance If your final withdrawal is marked “Pending,” note the planned transaction date, and then check again. Since banks require a range of processes, take the time to make sure you understand your responsibilities, so that you don’t run into difficulties.  Most banks do not allow online account closures, so be prepared to call customer service or visit a bank branch. Some banks require special forms or letters that must be notarized. You should expect to receive an official letter showing that you closed your account, but it is better to ask. This letter should arrive in 5-10 business days.  If you did not transfer your funds before closing your account you should also receive a check for the balance of funds remaining in your account. Contact your bank if you don’t receive your closing documents in 5-10 business days. If these don’t arrive, chances are there is a problem with your account and it has remained open. Getting rid of these access points will help you to avoid accidental use, as well as potential fraud. Make sure your EFT, bill pay and other credits and debits are going in and out of the new account. Simple human error may delay the proper closing of your account.

This includes your hands and the fruit you will be extracting oil from. Cold pressing doesn’t involve chemicals for extraction, so it’s important to thoroughly wash the fruit to remove bacteria. It takes about 25 pieces of citrus fruit to produce a useful amount of oil this way. Plan ahead! Remove the rind of the fruit with a peeler or knife and place it to the side. You may also remove the rind of the fruit with your fingers if you desire, but this can cause a greater amount of pulp and other fruit material to end up in the oils, which will need to be removed later.  The greatest concentration of oils in most fruit is contained in the outer layer of the rind. The lighter portion of the rind contains much less oil.  You can use an electric peeler to obtain the skin of the fruit, but note that this may produce more pulp than a hand peeled method. Once the fruit is peeled, you can use the leftover fruit for cooking or eating. There are a variety of uses for the leftover fruit peel, even after pressing. Rather than composting the peel, try:  Keeping the peels in a small bag and hanging it somewhere to keep the room smelling zesty. The oil in orange peel, limonene, acts as a repellant for several types of insects. Toss a few peels into the garbage disposal and give them a good grinding to freshen up the smell of your sink. Use a pressing device, such as a sieve, to squeeze the fruit peel over a jar. Heavy pressure will squeeze liquid from the peel - this liquid contains the oils you're looking for. Use a fair amount of strength when pressing, but take care not to damage or break the implement you are using. You should see a small amount of oil drain from the peel after a few seconds.  Cold pressing peel is quite a bit of effort for what looks to be a fairly small amount of oil. Don’t get discouraged. The oil is quite potent.  A garlic press is a great way of pressing small amounts of fruit peel with ease. A mortar and pestle may also be used, though this method is a little more labor intensive and difficult....

TL;DR in English: Wash the materials. Peel the fruit. Reuse the leftover peels. Press the fruit peel. Separate the oils. Apply when needed.

While it’s healthy to spend time away from your partner, it might be a cause for concern if your wife seems to prefer going out without you. This is especially true if she picks activities with others over date night with you. Take note if she starts to go out alone or with friends several times a week. It’s possible she’s seeing someone else.  It’s normal and healthy for both partners to enjoy time away from each other. Don’t assume that your wife’s desire to have a “girls night” or go to happy hour after work is a sign she’s having an affair. If your wife uses social media often, check her profile on nights she goes out. If she’s posting pictures of girls night or happy hour, she’s likely telling the truth. If your wife suddenly stops answering your calls and returning your texts, this might be a cause for concern. Notice if you’re having trouble getting a reply several times a week, as well as the time of day when this happens. When she gives you excuses, ask questions to see if her story changes and consider if the reason makes sense. For example, let’s say your wife usually answers your texts while she’s in the office, but lately she hasn’t been responding. Talk to her about what’s going on. It’s possible she’s working on a big project and has been busy, but it’s also possible she’s spending time with someone else or is prioritizing their messages. Make a habit of talking to your wife about her day. Listen to what she says and watch for inconsistencies or details that don’t make sense. If you have any concerns, ask her about them to see if her story changes.  For instance, let’s say your wife says she had lunch with a female coworker but then complains that the same coworker has been out all week. This would be a red flag. Similarly, if she says she was late getting home because she had to go to the dry cleaners but she didn’t bring home any clothes, she could be fibbing. As a bonus, talking to your wife about her day will be good for your relationship. It’s normal to want to tell a lot of stories about...

A forward's number-one goal is to put the ball on target. Even if they don't score, shooting on target creates corners, deflections, and rebounds that lead to goals and put defenses under pressure. Your mindset should always be to create the space needed to pull a shoot off for either you or your teammates. Note that you want your team to shoot, not just you. Some forwards will get lots of direct chances, others will feed their partner forwards with good chances and take only a few themselves. A mobile striker is the most dangerous. Even if you don't get the ball every time, good forwards know that they need to keep the defense on their toes for 90 minutes, as this is when they make mistakes and reveal the sorts of gaps that create goals. When your team has the ball, look up for the open space and make a run.  Always be on a light jog, or on the balls of your toes, to get the jump on defenders when space opens up. They'll be looking to close down space as you try to fill it. Keep your eye on your other forward(s). Timing runs to weave and criss-cross with them will throw the defense for an enormous loop. If you're simply standing in the box, waiting for the ball to arrive, you're incredibly easy to mark up. Instead, time your runs so that you get to the ball as it is arriving, allowing you to cut it out before the ball reaches a defender and get a running start for any jumping header. Keep your eye on the ball and reach it just as it becomes available to play and you'll win many more headers, volleys, and long balls.  This is also the best strategy to avoid offside traps, letting you go from jogging to sprinting once the ball is played instead of trying to hit full speed from standing. Curling runs are great for making time and space. Instead of sprinting into the box straight on, take a curving path as the ball is coming down the wings, then cut straight in once the ball is in the air. Your curling run lets you approach the box on the run while still letting you change directions quickly. Checking means...

TL;DR in English: Watch for the shot at all times, staying hungry for a goal. Dart, weave, and sprint into open space to create defensive chaos. Time your approach to crosses so that you hit them near full speed. Check to the ball instead of always running away from it. Challenge the defense one on one when you have space to run. Follow all shots and crosses into the goal. Come back to the midfield on defense, holding up the back defenders.

Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with a sheet of nonstick aluminum foil or parchment paper. In order to make sure that the walnuts toast evenly, you should keep them all in a single layer rather than allowing them to pile up. The nuts will also benefit from being spaced slightly apart, but they will still toast even if they are touching. For best results, position the nuts so that the "x" marked on the shell faces up. The mark does not need to be completely upright, but it should not be covered by the baking sheet or by other nuts. The nuts should continue toasting until they become fragrant and take on a slightly darker hue. The shell should also begin to turn up slightly where the "x" is at. You might need to cook the walnuts for as long as 15 minutes, but they generally toast a little faster in-shell, so 10 minutes is often enough. It is not necessary, but stirring the nuts will help ensure even and thorough cooking. Use a spatula, as the nuts and baking sheet will be too hot to touch by hand. Make sure that the "x" on each shell can still be seen and is not covered.

TL;DR in English: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Spread the walnuts out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake the walnuts for 10 minutes. Stir the nuts at the halfway point.

Harsh soaps can make dry skin worse. Try something like Dove, Cerave, or Cetaphil. Look for words like "For Sensitive Skin" and "Moisturizing." When you shower or bathe, it's best to stick with just lukewarm water. Hot water can dry out skin even more. You can use a physical exfoliant, such as a pumice stone or a foot file. Near the end of your shower or bath, gently scrape your feet with the file or pumice. You can also do it after your bath if you prefer.  Another option is to use a liquid foot scrub that is designed to exfoliate. Rub it on in the shower and wash it off.  Some people have had good luck with a foot soak of 1 part Listerine, 1 part vinegar, and 2 parts warm water. Soak your feet in it for 20 minutes. However, you'll likely still need to use a physical exfoliant. Apply a lotion after you bathe or shower. Showering and bathing can dry out your skin, but applying lotion locks in the moisture that showers leave behind. If you think your cuticles don't look pretty, try paying special attention to them when you're rubbing in moisturizer. Gently massage each edge of your cuticle with cream. If your regular lotions aren't cutting it, it's fine to use an oil-based lotion on your feet. You can also just use plain petroleum jelly. These types of creams are too heavy for places like your face, but they can help out severely dry areas like cracked heels. It's also helpful to put on cream when you go to bed. To keep it sealed in, try pulling socks on over the cream. Ingredients like aloe and palm oil can help with cracked skin.

TL;DR in English: Use gentle soap in the shower. Keep it warm. Scrub off dead skin with an exfoliant. Seal in moisture. Try oil-based lotions. Put on cream at night.

Using an agenda or planner will help you keep track of your classes, homework, and extracurricular activities. At the beginning of the school year or semester, make sure you have an updated class schedule written down or printed out in your planner. Writing down your routine will help you keep track of what you have to do on a daily basis. If you have several different classes, keep track of the syllabus for each class. If you see that you have a big exam on a certain date for one class, it might be a good idea to prioritize the amount of time studying for that exam over smaller assignments in other classes. Breaking up large tasks into smaller tasks and doing the small tasks one at a time can help you manage your work. Think ahead and get ready for the rest of the week. Make time on Sunday to make sure you're ready to go on Monday.

Ask yourself what it means to change the world. Know that change doesn't come overnight. Don't lose sight of your ideals. Think about your natural gifts. Specify your dreams. Remember that you don't need to do it alone.

What babies need most is love and attention. A baby needs to know they are safe, secure, and loved for their brain to develop properly. When your baby cries, pick them up to see if anything wrong. Even when your baby is not crying, engage with your baby all throughout the day.  Smile at your baby often, and praise them as they grow and learn. Offer hugs and other signs of affection so your baby can feel your love.  Reassure and calm your baby when they cry. Whether you're bottle or breastfeeding, feeding time is a time for bonding. When babies are born, they actually can't see very far, so getting the baby up near your face for feeding helps them to see you and interact with you. Breastfeeding provides your baby with some passive immunity during the first year of life, and breast milk is the best source of nutrition possible for your baby during the first year, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Your baby learns about the world through their eyes. When they're looking at you, they are learning how people use their bodies to communicate. By making eye contact, the baby is more likely to focus on your face as you have a conversation with them. Babies are learning to recognize the people around them. At as young as 3 months, peek-a-boo becomes a fun game for babies. It helps babies reinforce facial recognition. You can also use a mirror to help a baby work on facial recognition.

TL;DR in English: Shower your baby with affection. Use feeding time to encourage interaction. Make eye contact. Play peek-a-boo.

For ultraviolet tanning, nothing beats good, old-fashioned sunshine. If your skies or weather don't permit, though, tanning beds are an effective, year-round alternative to keep your skin lightly browned. Keep it all in moderation—great looking skin can end up looking like leather if you stay in the "oven" too long. Skin that's well hydrated will tan better than dusty, dry skin. Before you do prepare your skin to tan well, do the following:  In the shower, exfoliate dry, dead epidermal cells by scrubbing gently with a rough cloth, loofah, or exfoliating soap.  Moisturize your skin with a lotion containing sodium PCA. It's a naturally-occurring component of human skin that helps maintain a healthy epidermis, and works by attracting moisture from the air.  Apply the right level of sunscreen for your skin. If you have light skin, use a lotion with a higher SPF rating than if you have darker skin. No matter what your skin type or how much base you have built up, always use a sunscreen with at least an SPF rating of 15.  If you are going to be in the water, make sure your sunscreen is waterproof, or re-apply when you're out of the water. Otherwise, re-apply sunscreen as directed on the label—usually every couple hours. If you are just going to sit on the beach and tan for an hour put SPF 4-15 on, depending on how fair your complexion is and how much base you've already built up.  If you don't use sunscreen while tanning, UVA and UVB rays can still harm your skin, even if you don't get burned! Use lip balm with sunscreen as well. Ideally, apply your sunscreen in the shade, and let it soak in for 20-25 minutes before you go into the sun. Reapply as needed if you go swimming and the sunscreen is not waterproof, or every couple hours as directed on the label. If you notice redness developing on your skin, get out of the light—you're already burned, and continuing to bake will only deepen the burn and increase your risk of serious damage. Unless you want a patchwork quilt of tan lines, wear the swimsuit you will wear...

TL;DR in English: Choose your UV source. Hydrate your skin. Wear sunscreen when you tan! (Un)dress for success. Find your place in the sun. Move while you tan. Protect your eyes. Hydrate! After you tan, moisturize.

It is a grand intention, to be sure, and you can certainly find a way to make a difference if you have the will and means to do so. However, it's important to remember that "changing the world" usually doesn't mean "fixing everything about the world." It typically means something more like, "encountering a problem and fixing that problem." Even the quickest and most decisive revolutions take months or years of groundwork.Patience brings Reward. Don't expect to change the world with one big, heroic act. Try to live your values each day, even if you don't see much appreciable change on a day-to-day level. Work hard and don't give up.Be Patient Even if your cumulative actions don't change the world, you'll be able to say that you lived a life you're proud of. You might inspire or teach others by example. You may find that change occurs when you least expect it. Be patient and intentional – but not too patient. Set realistic goals for yourself, but try not to lose your fire in the details. Your desire to change the world is powerful as long as it burns within you. There is a quote, often (dubiously) attributed to Pablo Picasso: "The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give it away." Consider what you love doing: a thing that sets you afire with passion, that consumes you, that holds your focus for hours at the hint of a spark. Do that thing, even if no one else is doing it. Find a way to share it with the world.  Consider all the various ways that people have changed the world. Nelson Mandela changed the world by combating Apartheid; Henry Ford by popularizing the automobile; Steve Jobs changing personal computers; Gutenberg by inventing the printing press; Marco Polo by traveling widely and connecting cultures. You can draw inspiration from someone else, or you can forge your own way. Read about people who have changed the world. Seek inspiration in their stories. These people can be almost anyone that you admire: not just Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Steve Jobs, Jr., but Bill...

A gentleman looks and smells pleasant when out in public. It is one thing to sweat while working out, but not while out and about. Take regular care of your body and that you look polished and clean before you step out.  Make sure to bathe regularly. When applying deodorant or cologne, be sparing. An overpowering odor--even of cologne or body spray--is not pleasant, and can be offensive. Use of hair product is fine, but be careful of hair gel. This product can be sticky and get rock hard after a while, making your hair look stiff. You can also inadvertently come off as "greasy".   If you don’t smell clean and fresh, then it doesn’t really matter how charming you are or how your clothes look. It’s important to get the hygiene down so people don’t get distracted by an unpleasant odor or appearance. Wash your hands after you use the bathroom. A gentleman cares for himself and others by preventing spread of disease. Also, other men in the washroom will notice if you bypass the sinks. Wear clothes that fit your body well, eliminate flashy clothing and avoid fashion "faux pas" (e.g. baseball hats cocked slightly to the side). A simpler wardrobe will keep the emphasis on you, not your clothes, which will change your appearance. Keep it simple, and you’ll look elegant and gentlemanly.  Stick to subdued blacks, grays, blues and browns. A gentleman can actually wear any color in moderation, but the classic colors for men are not bright. Choose classic clothing for men. Examples include suits, oxford-style shirts, khaki pants. Wear athletic clothes only for workouts or athletics. A gentleman will not wear his suit while hiking through the Alps, or practicing for his black belt, or playing tennis. But he will avoid wearing his tennis clothes unless he is going to, from, or playing tennis. What is considered "flashy" will vary from culture to culture, and situation. A white linen suit and pink shirt may be fashionable on a tropical island, but be regarded as quite flashy at a corporate board meeting in England. It’s very...

TL;DR in English: Maintain proper hygiene. Wear flattering clothes. Groom yourself well. Have a firm handshake. Avoid any offensive actions in public.

Place translucent tracing paper over your computer monitor or art book to trace from a reference image, or draw your own directly onto the tracing paper.  Avoid tiny pieces and complex lines until you are a skilled inlayer. Consider which materials you'll use for each piece. Use multiple inlay materials for better contrast and aesthetic. Cutting each piece of your inlay out from its own sheet of tracing paper ensures you'll end up with pieces of the correct size. Leave yourself at least one "master design" sheet that won't be cut at all. Place your master design sheet over carbon paper and trace it again to mark the design onto the wood you want to inlay.  You may also wish to include a few "reference marks" around the design to help you orient yourself while inlaying. If you don't have any carbon paper, cut out one of your copies and tape it in place, then trace around it onto the wood. You'll then need to cut out each piece and tape it within the larger design, tracing around its edge as well. Cutting them all from one trace will result in undersized pieces. Number each one on its surface and on the master design sheet in the order you'll be inlaying them. Start with the furthest background elements and move to the foreground. Cut your pieces larger on edges that will end up underneath another piece to create an overlapping effect. You can even cut the entire "implied" piece out, such as a leaf that will be half hidden behind another leaf. To ensure precisely cut patterns, you can tape your pattern onto a medium density fiberboard (MDF) and cut it out using a table saw, router, circular saw, or jigsaw with the proper technique:   Only use laminate or carbide blades or a carbide drill bit to cut fiberboard. Use eye protection. Clean table saws thoroughly to remove debris that could cause a bad cut. Clamp the fiberboard in place and score with a utility knife before using a circular saw or jigsaw. Tape the fiberboard template or the paper cutout onto the wood veneer or other inlay material. Trace the pattern...

TL;DR in English: Create your design. Make several copies of your design. Trace the design onto the wood. Cut out each paper segment from separate copies. Create a fiberboard template (optional). Cut the first segment from the inlay materials. Sand or file the edges smooth. Temporarily attach the piece or template to the base. Cut lightly around the piece, then remove the inlay. Trace the groove to make it more distinct. Set up your cutting tool. Cut away most of the recess with a 1/8" drill bit (3.0 or 3.5 mm). Cut to the edge using a 1/16" drill bit (1.5 or 1.6 mm). Glue the piece in. Clamp in place and let dry. Level the surface. Cut and place additional pieces.

Hold the gun at a 45-degree angle with the nozzle facing downwards. Then, over a piece of paper, press the trigger at the back of the gun while moving the caulking gun steadily in one direction. The caulk should come out in a steady stream.  If you move the caulking gun too fast, the caulk will be too thin and uneven. If you move the caulking gun too slow, the caulk will be clumpy and unworkable. Find a balance between the two. Don't worry if you pressed the trigger and no caulk came out. Let the pressure off the trigger then start again. Hold the caulking gun with two hands. One hand should be by the trigger. Use your other hand to hold the end of the caulking tube, assisting your aim. Tilt the entire gun 45 degrees. The caulk should start to flow towards the nozzle. Although the trigger will push some of the caulk out of the tube, by holding the gun at 45 degrees, you are using gravity to help with the process.
